RUChoppinOhio- What's Your Take?

[Caliknight]

Just curious how someone from the other side of the Eddie issue would see this
game and what their thoughts on it are.

Thanks.

Don't do this

I've been patient with EJ but flipped a few games ago. Sometimes you just need to cut your losses and sell a loser. 12, 10 and 6 wins is just terrible.

That being said, if Rutgers does not make a 1000% monetary commitment, the same thing will happen in 3 years and eventually the program should cease to exist because everyone who attends will be dead.

When you are outmanned what can you do?

You start over. it's his team

he recruited the guys who are healthy....players that just aren't Big 10 quality..he had several transfers outs. He held a schollie open. He is responsible. This goes beyond injuries, way more to it than that. The program has to be blown up and started over regrettably yet again

I did not watch the game live, I'll do that at some point.

Same opinion......depleted roster going against a team with 7' , 6'9" , 6'7 with 7'2" and 6'9" off the bench going against a team with two players over 6'4" with one of them being 6'9" Lewis with achy knees.

Best low post defender and rebounder is out in 6'11" Doorson, another 6'10" body is out, best low post offensive player in 6'8" Freeman is out. Another 6'6" player out with a concussion.

What did you expect against a team as big as Purdue?

Hopefully, next year Jordan will have his full roster to work with....a roster that can absorb injuries if they occur. I'll withhold judgment on recruiting until I see if Jordan, Shoes and Macon gets 6'9" shooter/defender in Issa Thiam, 6'7" banger Sam Green from DC, 6'8" Chuba Ohams from NY to go with 6'4" New Yorker Tripp. The last spot should go to the shooter with length that the staff has been targeting. Also, add in Nigel Johnson.

I'm convinced this team would be much more competitive with Freeman and Doorson down low with Diallo getting some minutes......but, injuries happen and sometimes they can ruin a season.

I think Most people understood that year 4 in this build was the year to be really competitive.

I don't think anyone here knows why Etou or Ryan Johnson transferred....not even all knowing crusader Bac.

Games are started with starters and the games are over within the first 8 minutes. This is about more than injuries.

How when you have no height. When you have a 6' 3" guard trying to guard a power forward, it's no contest. Scrap the season and start over and clean house.
